  Function by which an address is suggested when you start typing is as a result of the previously used name (AutoComplete), the address is extracted from another no user editable file, which is settled over time when you enter an e-mail address. The file is actually the .nk2 "User_Name".
  The outlook address book is simply a filtered view of your contacts, that is to say those who have e-mail addresses, that is to say by email or fax

• Outlook express 6.0 size limit of 2 GB can not open

  Hello, can anyone suggest a way I can open my outlook express 6.0 file Inbox that got compacted and now can not be imported in OE6 due to its size, if I could open it somehow I could then delete unwanted emails etc and then distribute the others in different subfolders so the inbow reached never this size again (which was approximately 5600 emails) , I want a free way to do this and am very disappointed that microsoft cant help me once reach the limit of the CAP? who would have thought that? I found a 3rd party software program (stellar phoenix outlook recovery) who can open it and I see that they ae here but it's a demo and I can't access or delete without registering. I think it of ridiculous and feel microsoft should provide a method without me palming off to third-party sites for a problem that their system has actually created... can anyone offer some constructive advise please?

  @Vyktor:

  I have a free solution below, but you will lose all your messages saved in sent items. If you don't want to lose them, then you must rename the Sent Items.dbx Envoy Itemsold.dbx instead of delete it and then buy the software.

  Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox, and then create new folders to Outbox and sent items.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

  With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

  After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

  Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

  General precautions for Outlook Express:

  Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
